Gabriel-Simon, who made his plea through an interpreter, was not sentenced on the spot but took the plea under the agreement that he would spend between six and 12 years in a state prison.

During the hearing, Gabriel-Simon explained that he was drinking the night of the incident, got into a fight with Sales and stabbed him. Due to his intoxication levels, Gabriel-Simon could not remember how many times he stabbed Sales, but remembered it being in the torso area.

According to court documents, Sales was found the night of the incident in the area of South Second and East Washington streets. Multiple blood trails were reported by police, and Sales was found bleeding heavily but breathing.

A woman at the scene told police that she helped Sales by pushing "some body parts" into the wound in his stomach and kept him on his side, according to charging documents. There were also obvious stab wounds to Sales' left arm and finger.

Sales was taken to York Hospital for treatment of his injuries. He was able to identify Gabriel-Simon as his assailant.

Police later determined that Gabriel-Simon used a different name with acquaintances and friends and has falsified documents regarding his identity.

Gabriel-Simon was charged with attempted homicide, resisting arrest and multiple counts of forgery for his falsified documents. However, in the plea agreement, all of those charges will be dropped.

After being taken into custody, Gabriel-Simon was arraigned on Oct. 10, 2014, where he was denied bail under the reasoning that he was an extreme risk to society and an extreme flight risk.

Gabriel-Simon will have credit time for being incarcerated since that date, that will go toward his eventual prison sentence.

He will remain in Franklin County Jail until his sentencing date, tentatively set for Sept. 16.
